SONY DCR-TRV140E TO DVD

[sweetbee]

Hi, I am a newbie to this and to the above. Please can someone tell me what sort of quality to expect when making dvd's? So far using ULEAD video studio 7 the dvd have been very grainy and my audio is very echoed? I just hoped it would be as good as professional dvd? Am I asking tooo much

Are you transferring DV or capturing MPEG?

[sweetbee]

Oh sorry, transferring DV but with USB. The cable has A on it. I am buying a firewire and hope that this will be better. Also my sound was not right, either on the DVD i ended up with the sounds of the room when transferring on top of the original sounds, or then it was the original with an echo?

The fire wire cable will give you much better results. I have the American version of your camera and I am very pleased with it for the price.

Thanks, I cant wait, I received it in the mail today!!!

[sweetbee]

Oh Help again please, now it's the audio. The dvd quality is fab but the audio is not synchronised, starts ok then the first part repeats itself over the next part. No chapters, just one 11 minute movie with lots of repeated audio is there light at the end of the tunnel,? or should I give up??

Are you still using VS7? Also, what DV codecs do you have installed?

[sweetbee]

Thanks for your reply, yes I am still using ULEAD 7, codecs? oh I am afraid I dont know where to start looking for them. Please, please dont give up on me

I'm still here. Try DVIO. It is really easy to use. Also, make sure all your programs not being used are closed. Ensure your hard disk is defragged, and do nothing on your computer when capturing except capturing.

Thank you, thank you, I will try, my kids say that Mum's should leave well enough alone and give up, but I won't. I will let you know how I go
